Since I've got a little extra time while I'm here in FL, I was cruising the web for new ideas on slow feeding and have a few new ideas to try out when I get home. One is to take the small bale Cinch Net, fill it and hang it from the rafters in the loafing shed. I saw a good clip with the horses eating at the net. Looked pretty good.
Now, all my horses are pretty darn proficient at eating out of our current small mesh hay nets, so I've been looking for some netting with a smaller mesh. Today, while down at the sponge docks in Tarpon Bay I found some netting with 3/4" netting. Very strong small mesh. I bought a 10'x12' net and am going to try it out and see if it slows the horses down a bit more without making it impossible for them to eat out of it. Should be interesting.
I've seen a few other slow feeders that people have figured out that look pretty darn interesting. This has become a pretty experiment and I'm enjoying looking into new ways to feed the horses that is better for them and easier for me! More to come!
